About the role

We are seeking a creative, energetic, and dependable After-School STEAM Engineering Instructor to lead hands-on engineering and STEM enrichment classes for Kindergarten to 2nd grade students in Redwood City. Students explore how things work through age-appropriate engineering challenges, building projects, design experiments, structures, simple machines, and creative problem-solving activities. Rather than simply following instructions, students are encouraged to imagine, design, build, test, troubleshoot, and improve their creations while developing confidence, curiosity, teamwork, and early engineering-thinking skills. This position is ideal for educators, college students, recent graduates, engineers, STEAM instructors, science educators, makers, and architecture or design students who enjoy helping young children learn through hands-on discovery. Curriculum and lesson materials are provided. Schedule: Weekday afternoons, Fall 2026. Kindergarten to 2nd grade.

What we’re looking for

Experience working with young children in Kindergarten to 2nd grade. Interest or background in engineering, science, design, architecture, making, or early childhood education. Patient and comfortable leading hands-on building activities with young learners. Strong classroom management and communication skills. Reliable, organized, punctual, and professional. Applicant must reside in Redwood City or within 20 miles of Redwood City.
